Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
